    THE MEAN OF A DISCRETE RANDOM VARIABLE


    To find the mean (𝜇) or the expected value E(X) of a discrete probability distribution, we use the following formula:
    where:
    𝜇 = E(X) 𝑋 – value of the random variable
    = 𝑋1 . P(𝑋1 ) + 𝑋2 . Pሺ𝑋2 ሻ + 𝑋3 . Pሺ𝑋3 ሻ + … + 𝑋𝑛 . P(𝑋𝑛 ) P(𝑋) – probability of the random variable 𝑋
    = ∑[𝑋. P(𝑋)]
    𝜇 – mean of the probability distribution

    Example:
    Suppose four tiles numbered 1, 2, 3 If we rewrite the calculation separating
    and 4 are in a jar. A tile is picked and returned the tile number from the probability of each based
    in the jar 15 times. The results are as follows: on the results as illustrated below, the
    computation would be:
    Number of times X 1 2 3 4
    Tile
    picked
    1 2 P(X) 2/15 4/15 8/15 1/15
    2 4
    3 8 From the results, the average number per
    4 1 picked would be computed by:
    2 4 8 1
    𝜇 = 1( )+2( ) +3( )+4( )
    From the results, the average number 15 15 15 15
    2 8 24 4
    per picked would be computed by: = + + +
    15 15 15 15
    38
    =
    15
    1ሺ2ሻ + 2ሺ4ሻ + 3ሺ8ሻ + 4ሺ1ሻ
    𝑋ത = 𝜇 = 2.53
    15
    2 + 8 + 24 + 4
    = This means that for every tile picked from the
    15
    38 jar, the number in the tile is in average of 2.53.
    =
    15
    𝑋ത = 2.53
    This means that for every tile picked from the
    jar, the number in the tile is in average of 2.53.
